aiighty another discussion about trendsetting and popularity has inspired me to share this tale.. and its prolly the most coolest thing thats ever happened to me!
a few months ago.. my husband comes home from work.. walks in and starts telling me about an interveiw he was listening to on the radio on the drive home.. was with the lead singer of Nickelback, one of my all-time favorite bands. he proceeds to tell me, that the interveiwer asked him where hed come up with some of the lyrics for the tune Rockstar.. most specifically, the pez dispenser bit near the end.. not having heard the song yet or knowing the line, i interupted him with a "oh yer SO full of sh*t and yanking me!!" he starts to laugh.. and continues with his story.. turns out.. a friend of Chad Kroeger was helping him with ideas.. and had picked up the pez dispenser bit from being in an aol chatroom.. where someone was rping dispensing thurozine pez in different flavors to the masses.. it rhymed with the lyrics he was looking for.. and thus history was made.. the chick tossing around the thurozine pez.. was ME! ive been rping drugging up the masses for a decade (again, im a dork!) and apparently ive met this friend of Mr. Kroeger`s along the way of my incessant craziness of dispensing perscription meds out of the heads of various cartoon characters.. and this madness of fun is now in a tune thatll forever remain within the American Music history. go me!
for those not knowing the tune.. follow the link, and enjoy!

Wow that must be so cool to know that you were the inspiration behind that. I have just been in and had a watch of the video as I love Nickelback anyway not because I was unfamilar with the tune. That must make you feel so good. Ellie :D
